Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
"I do think murder for hire should be legal, not legal, but it shouldn't be considered murder. If someone had tried to murder you, they're still alive." — Shultz
"Land of the blind, the man with one eye is free." — Alex
"Onward's the saddest movie ever." — Shultz
The episode opens with a discussion surrounding the concept of "murder for hire," prompted by a case involving former NFL player Chris Johnson. The hosts debate whether retaliation against someone who attempted to harm you should be considered illegal, drawing parallels to self-defense and ancient legal principles like "an eye for an eye." This segment explores the complexities of justice and retribution.
Following the legal discussion, the conversation shifts to the emotional impact of films. The hosts share their experiences watching the Disney Pixar movie "Onward," with one speaker describing it as one of the most tragic films they have ever seen. They compare its emotional resonance to other films like "Coco" and "Schindler's List," discussing how personal experiences, such as the loss of a grandparent, can heighten a viewer's connection to a movie's themes.
The episode also touches on the nature of community and exclusivity, with a reference to Patreon and a playful jab at "social justice warriors." Interspersed within the discussion are promotional mentions, including a preview of a Patreon episode and an advertisement for USAA Auto Insurance, highlighting various discount opportunities.
